Overview

Property

'El Camichin' is a 250 year old finca which has been recently completely restored, providing a lovely holiday home whilst retaining all its charm. The house has been fully modernised to a very high standard throughout. It is set in it's own grounds surrounded by rural land with orange groves with fantastic views all round. The walled perimeter gives the house and pool area a high degree of privacy. Despite its rural location, amenities are close at hand with the nearest village only 3 minutes drive away.

About the Owner

I live with my husband & 3 children in England but as a family we have been coming on holiday to Spain for many years and have fallen in love with the country, the people and the way of life.

Guestbook comments from the owner

"I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our stay at the Finca last week- it really is a beautiful house, the photos don't do it justice...it really was lovely with so many nice touches like the hammocks and the table tennis table" MC 08/09

"Thought I would let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday in La Xara. Your house is simply fantastic - even nicer than the photos had led us to expect. We'd love to return and I've already told my friends that we should come over as a group!" AF 07/11

Location

From the Owner

“We love this area and have been looking for several years for the right property for us. In 2007 a unique opportunity arose to purchase this old finca and since we had family close by who could oversee and manage all the renovations, we took the plunge and bought El Camichin. We have not regretted the purchase and hope that other people who stay here will get as much pleasure as we do from the house and the surrounding area.”

Facilities

From the Owner

“The property is in lovely countryside surrounded by orange groves and is part of the Montgo National Park. There are some lovely beaches not far away and there are plenty of sporting activities for those who want to keep active. However, if like me you prefer to spend your holidays relaxing and reading, the peace of the villa will suit you admirably. Eating out is always a pleasure and we can recommend restaurants to suit most budgets.”
